What this video covers

The crew of a sailboat anchors at Kap Delton on the Blosseville Coast of East Greenland, navigating through ice-heavy waters to reach the site.Watch The vessel remains at anchor while the crew uses a kayak to explore the shoreline and visit a historic 1898 hunting hut, known as Amdrup’s Depot, which was originally constructed as an emergency wintering shelter for the Amdrup Expedition.15:17 The area is active with polar bear activity, evidenced by claw marks found three meters high on the hut’s structure; the crew carries a 12-gauge shotgun for protection as mandated for inland travel in Greenland.23:30 To maintain the hull while cruising, the host applies oxalic acid to remove yellow algae staining, noting that 100 grams of the salt mixed with water effectively cleans one side of the boat in minutes.5:45 The crew plans to continue north toward the Römer Fjord, pending an assessment of ice conditions.21:50
